 Nice if you have the room August 1, 2010
Jerry Allen Robinson
We are really happy with this unit. We have a large kitchen but not enough storage or surface / counter space. I had a small problem with one of the wheels. when I brought it to their attention they immediately sent me a repalcement wheel. Although it was an inconvenience, I must say they had very responsive excellent customer service. This is nice for a breakfast bar at a very reasonable price. Other then the 1 wheel issue, we are really happy with the unit.

I bought this cart online from the military exchange (PX) because I did not have to pay for shipping. Other than that,it appears to be the same product and I think it warrants a rating. Here goes:
Packing: The items in the box were WELL protected with a lot of padding and protection. There were a few dings on the box, but the pieces were not damaged at all.
Assembly: I was keen to get this put together so I started alone. After 1.5 hours, it was almost done! My husband joined and it took one more hour. NOTE: we thought we were almost done and found that we had to assemble the drawers (we thought they were pre-assembled). And, we made a few correctable mistakes, but that meant we had to do a few things over (we are not handymen!).
Instructions: Simple, very clear and easy to follow.
Finished product: Very sturdy and looks great!
Other:
1. Be CAREFUL! The counter top wood is sensitive and can be easily dinged!
2. It's not very big- the middle cabinet has our deep fryer in it. Can hold another item similar to that and maybe a smaller appliance on each shelf (there are two). The two side cabinets (very skinny) hold a blender, extra coffee pot carafe, and maybe other small items.
3. Don't see me using the knife block, but it still put it on- could easily be removed (as the towel holder can be removed).
Summary: The cart looks GREAT. I also plan on using it as a drink cart/bar for an upcoming party! Highly recommended!

I am not an impulsive shopper, & saved this in my wish list for about a year while I looked for similar carts that I might like better. This was the winner, & I finally took the plunge & ordered it. I have an old house, & the kitchen has very limited workspace, so this cart was badly needed. It arrived within about a week, no damage, & assembly was fast. Directions were accurate & clear, & there were extras on each piece of hardware. No nasty surprises anywhere. The cart is very attractive, holds my small appliances & gadgets, & with the breakfast bar up provides a large workspace. I am very pleased with this purchase, & there are only 2 reasons I did not give it a 5 star rating. 1) While it is all wood, no particle board or worse, the top is made of pieces of solid wood instead of full length boards. They are put together pretty well, but the joints are visible. And 2) the tool caddy is primarily a knife rack, which I don't need. I may use the router to enlarge the space to hold other kitchen tools, or I may just remove the top. All in all, a really nice product.
Outstanding kitchen addition!! September 5, 2009

I purchased one of these a couple of years ago. It has provided much more than I could have asked for the price paid.
My kitchen is rather small with little work space. I needed a place to knead bread and do other things but also needed it to roll out of the way when not needed. This island turned out to be perfect. It does require a bit of assembly. Took me about 90 minutes. The result was a handsome & functional island in unfinished rubberwood. You can finish it with most stains or wood finishes but I would recommend leaving the countertop unfinished. More sanitary & easier to keep clean. (Yes, handled properly, wood is every bit as sanitary as plastic, stone, or metal. Keep ALL liquids off of it!)
It's sturdy enough for hard kitchen use. I have pounded meat on it (on a cutting board) and beat bread dough to death. I have also used it as an impromptu breakfast bar & even rolled it onto the patio to use as a dry bar once. Worked wonderfully. But it really shines as a place to slice. dice, chop & mix. And it's the best bread board I've ever had. (NOTE: DO NOT USE A KNIFE ON THE WOOD!! Put a cutting board down to protect the surface.) It even holds 3 separate, operating machines (bread machine, slow cooker, & my large Kitchen-Aid stand mixer)& still leaves a good working area. The back leaf folds down & reduces the storage space when you need to roll it out of the way.
The only shortcomings (and they are minor) is the depth of the storage. The cabinets are not deep enough to store large pans. You can get two 1 gal. water/milk jugs back to back & that's about it. Also the drawers are too short & too shallow to store long items like ladles, cooking spoons, & butcher knives. A silverware tray won't fit. Also when assembling, stagger the 2 lockable wheels on opposite corners. Otherwise the island will pivot when pushed.
If you need working space for a small kitchen & don't want spend big bucks, this is the island to buy. After seeing mine & how I use it, several friends bought one too.
Good, sturdy piece August 19, 2009

This is a great kitchen island with a good deal of cupboard space. Assembly took about half an hour with two people but wasn't difficult. There are a lot of pieces however and we were missing a couple (bolts, plugs, nothing major), hence only 4 stars. Overall though a satisfactory purchase.
